DR.. F. J. Schug,

The republican nominee for coroner,
was born at Canal Dover, Tuscarawas
county, Ohio, July Is, 1854; in 1856 his
parents removed to Wyandott county,
Ohio, where his father still resides. In
the public schools of Upper Sandusky
the future doctor received such educa-
ton as he could derive from them, and
in 1874 he attended the Medical Uni
versity of Kentucky and in 1856 the
Columbus Medical College at Columbus,
Ohio, where he graduated Feb. q, '76.
Shortly afterwards he took charge Of
the Office of DR.. r. N. Mcconnell, one of
the principal surgeons of northern Ohio,
while the doctor was absent in Europe
After spending quite while travelling in
Europe taking advantage Of every op-
portunity offered to more thoroughly
equip himself for his life work, the DR..
returned to America, and in the spring
of 1880 (having been here the previous
falD located in this city where he has
been ever since, most Of the time in part
nership with DR.. Martyr. DR.. Schug
has been surgeon (ranking as major of
the LIST Regiment Neb. Natl Guards ever
since its organization; also for a num-
Der Of years secretary Of q. S. Pension
Examiners board. He is gentleman in
every respect, as his conduct here has
shown; as a physician and surgeon he
is most thoroughly capable, attentive
and efficient and this would be, as it has
been, his record as coroner.

Henry J. Hudson,

Republican nominee for County Judge,
was born in London, Nov. 2S, 1922 He
moved to America in 1851, accompanied
by his wife and three Oldest children.
He lived in Illinois until April 1857,
when he removed to Nebraska, where he
has lived ever since, raising large fam
ily, each one of them an honor to their
parents.
To give even an outline Of Mr.. Hud-
sons public career would more than fill
all the columns of the JOURNAL In the
early days he was elected representative
from Monroe, Platte, Dodge and Wash
ington counties to the legislature, but
was "whittled" out of the position in a
contest; later along, in 1917, he served
a term in the legislature, and was unani-
mously selected by his fellOwmembers
as one of the managers for the House in
the impeachment trial OF Gov. Butler.
Mr.. Hudson has been three times post
master; Justice Of the Peace eleven
years consecutively, and afterwards six
years, resigning the position; county
clerk three times; county commissioner,
three terms; as county supervisor, under
township organization, he is now serv-
ing his second term, and is chairman
of the board.
For the Office Of County Judge Mr..
Hudson is peculiarly well qualified
man of family and experience, he real
izes the importance Of faithfully guard
ing the interests of the widow and the
children in the settlement Of estates of
decedents, and he would see to it that
Justice be done. For an intelligent dis
charge of the duties of the Office, with
great credit to himself and with honor
to the county, no one questions Mr..
Hudson's ability to far exceed his COM
petitor. He ought to be elected unani-
mOusly

Martin G., BlOedOrn.

The republican nominee for sheriff, was
born in Wisconsin, May 9th, 1857, and
came to Nebraska in 1869. Since the
age Of eleven, therefore, Martin has been
q resident of Platte county.
By trade, Mr.. Bloedorn is a black
smith and machinist. In 1880 he went
into business in Humphrey, in the
blacksmith and implement business, in
which he is now engaged.
Mr.. Bloedorn is a well-behaved, in
telligent gentleman, as End-hearted as
can be, but one who, knowing his duty,
would perform it, which is quality in
executive officers that is of untold value
to communities. Those who by nature,
by inclination or by association go to
the 'bad," are apt to avoid the city or
the county that is watched over by q
vigilant official, and thus many q dollar
uselessly expended in the prosecution of
criminals is saved to the taxpayer.
Prevention is always better than cure,
and sheriff, ever ready to do his duty,
will save Platte county more than his
wages every year.
As much as possible the voter should
be personally acquainted with the man
he helps place in power, and We advise
all who have the opportunity to make
the acquaintance OF Mr.. Bloedorn.

Mr. Cramer has a Diploma from Hei-

Mr.. Cramer has a diploma from Hei-
delburg College in his native city, and
holds Nebraska State Teachers Ger
tificate for life.
His present position as head Of the
public schools of this city he has held
for the past eleven years, an unusual, We
may we'll say, remarkable "tenure OF
Office" from numerous school boards.
He is well acquainted with the people
of the county, thoroughly 90 with the
teachers, and with the needs Of the public
school system of Platte county.
Every man, woman and child interest
ed in the welfare of the schools should
make an effort to have voters cast their
ballots for L. j. Cramer.
There is a growing tendency by the
people to regard school and judicial
matters as a little aside from politics
generally. II this feeling is allowed to
prevail, Mr.. Cramer will receive q unani
nous vote.

John H. Sacrider,

The republican nominee for Clerk Of the
District Court, was born in Duchess
county, New York, March Sd, 1889.
At the age Of twelve he became resi-
dent of Illinois, living first for short
time in La Sale county, afterwards in
Henry county. He passed his youth
partly on farm, at school and as clerk
in store.
In 1862, he joined Company d Of the
Seth Regiment of Illinois Volunteers,
and served his country as q soldier,
faithfully and well, until March %, 1865.
In 1871, sixteen years ago, Mr.. Sac
rider came to Platte county, taking a
homestead under the government his
valor helped to save,-the hundred and
sixty acres in Monroe township that has
since been his home.
Mr.. Sacrider is q man of good judg-
ment, scholarly, well-informed man
and an excellent penman. He will fill
the Office of Clerk of the District Court
with honor to himself and the county.

Gus. q. Becher.

The candidate for county treasurer,
was born at Pilsen, Austria, in 1845. In
1848, his father emigrated to St. Louis,
Mo-, at which place, in the Christian
Brothers Academy, Gus. received con-
siderable portion Of his education. In
1857, Mr.. Becher's father removed to
this city, Gus. following in 1859, in the
meantime going to school. For eight
years thereafter he was clerk in the
hardware store of Hurford & Bro. at
Omaha, where he made many friends.
After that he came to Columbus, and
for the succeeding four years was en-
gagged in the United States service,
under Major Frank North, with the
Pawnee Scouts. In II, he served as en-
rolling clerk in the senate. After his
return he started in his present bust
ness, in which he takes great pride, and
in which he has been fairly successful,
enjoying the confidence, and winning
the good will Of every man with whom
he does business. The cOunty's money
and the county treasurer's duties will
be safe in his hands.

A Very Thin ArGument.

It seems to be fact that democratic
saloon keeper offered to bet that Kav-
anaugh would be Platte county's next
treasurer, whereupon an ardent repub-
ican who happens also tc be stock
holder in one Of our banks, bluffed him
of. On this exceedingly thin founda-
ton the Democrat comes out with a
scare head 'The Banks for Becher." :"
According to this new system of logic,
if a republican saloon keeper should
offer to bet that Becher would be our
next treasurer and an ardent democrat
who happened to be a stockholder of a
bank in the city would bluff him down
by putting up 800 on Kavanaugh, then
Of course, according to the improved
system Of logic, not only that one bank
but all the banks in the city forsooth
and in the county would be for Kav-
anaugh. Fine logic! Wonderful intel
lect. The infants had better 60 to
school to Whately for while.

The Lindsay Sentinel, an organ OF the
Kavanaugh clique Of democrats, has
something to say to the JOURNAL, and
the Democrat of this place, another or
gan of the Kavanaugh clique, quotes the
Sentinel article, styling it "Weighty
Words of Wisdom" We have space to
notice only one or two features OF the
article. First, the assertion that Henry
C. Carrig, If he had been nominated for
treasurer, would have received the same
scoring that is being 80 generously &C
corded to d. G. Kavsnaugh." This Is
not true, because Mr.. Carrig is differ
ent style of man, altogether. The Senti-
mel and the Democrat ought to have
shown better judgment than to chal-
lenge public scrutiny Of Mr.. Kavan-
augh's record as an official. The jour
NAL does not deal in 1chaff" OF any kind,
has always been slow to make accusa-
tions against public officers, knowing vel
that in the estimation OF the public they
are more sinned against that SHINING,
but to meet this challenge and settle
the matter, outside Of assertions by
newspapers, will make the following
PROPOSAL TO KAvANAUGH's PARTIsANs.
1--we prove, by the affidavits Of truth
full democrats of Platte county and by
the sffidavits of truthful republicans OF
Platte county that d. c. Kavanaugh,
while holding the Office OF sheriff OF
Platte county, has, by his conduct, done
that which would be the cause OF i'm
peachment and removal from Office, then
Mr.. Kavanaugh is to resign the Office he
now holds and withdraw his name from
the ticket on which he is running.
Mr.. Editor OF the Lindsay Sentinel
and Mr.. Editor Of the Columbus Demo-
crat, will you blow this "chaff" of the
barn floor! Shall We proceed with the
affidavits? Will you accept the condi-
tions? This will settle the matter with
out the public being required to take
the word of a newspaper organ.

Campaign Lies.

Republicans, it is already apparent
that the current campaign in this county
is to be one OF unusual activity on the
part Of our political enemies, and it
does seem as though nothing will be so
low that some of them will not resort to
it. We shall keep this paragraph stand
ing during the campaign to be added to,
as the campaign proceeds. Nail these
lies to the counter.
That Becher will foreclose all the
mortgages he has taken as loan agent,
in case he is not elected treasurer.
That Henry Csrrig will be Kavanaugh's
deputy, if X. is elected.
That Bloedorn is q sot.
No more competent man than VIM.

Office Of county Columbus DEM

ID. c. KAvANAUGH will be our next county
treasurer in spite of the few disgruntled DEM
ocrsts who would nave him slaughtered."-
Lindsay Sentinel.
The Kavanaugh ticket is losing
ground every day-some Of the candi-
dates more than others, it is true, but
all of them are losing ground. That a
change is needed is a general impress
sion, but that it should be from one
Office into another is not the kind of
change demanded. "A new set of fur
niture in the Court House" was the
brief but pointed saying Of an honest
farmer of Monroe,
The Columbus journal., 1887-10-26

The so-called 'chaff on the barn floor"
has been spit at by the Democrat but
not, by any means, blown away. We
still leave our challenge to be accepted
or rejected, and if Kavanaugh or his
organs think there is no hereafter, either
very near or a little more remote, they
will find themselves mistaken, as they
never have been before. Voters who,
heretofore, we're seemingly ignorant Of
anything wrong, are beginning to find
out; We candidly and cheerfully say to
all honest, well-meaning men, don't take
as conclusive what any one man tells
you, but find out for yourself just what
the facts are. Our challenge, which is
perfectly fair and honorable in every
particular, still remains for acceptance
or rejection.

The rumOr that an attempt was made
to wreck the Presidential train near
Memphis, may have some foundation,
but it is regarded here almost universal
ly as slim attempt to produce scenic
effect on the last act OF an exceedingly
stupid play.
During the last few days several Con-
gressmen have taken up their abode
among us, and many old familiar faces
are now recognized on the avenue. /
met Congressman Barnes Of Georgia,
yesterday, who is the heavy weight Of
the House, 325 pounds strong, but albeit
a good jovial fellow. He is strong par
tisan democrat, and pretends to think,
with a nervous twitching above the eye,
that Cleveland is doing pretty we'll"
Randall spent a day here last week on
his return from Atlanta, and exhibited
numerous letters of endorsement from
various sections Of the south, and invi-
tations to visit them, which shows pretty
clearly that it will be hard work for
Carlisle and Mills to read him out of
the party.
One of the prOudest men in Washing
ton today is Commissioner Oberly. He
has "downed" the Virginia and Ohio
clubs in their rebellion on civil service,
is sustained by his two colleagues, and
has the official endorsement Of the New
York mugwump reform association.
What greater honor can one man
achieve! True it don't reduce the price |
Of bread stuffs, or relieve any burdens,
but then Oberly is satisfied and CORES
proud, and he is part of the |
that is seeking praise.

JAS BURROWS in communication to
the Argus replies to some anonymous
fellow who had something to say about
running around, driving up the Po-
landers, who don't know a finger from
q thumb" this, with reference to the &C.
lection of delegates to the democratic
convention; Mr.. Burrows asks the un-
known correspondent for ''the names of
the men who were rounding up the Po-
landers ready to be branded" OF course
men will have their little disputes about
how things were done. Absolute moral
perfection is not expected in a political
campaign, and nobody is very much sur
prised to know of deflections, greater or
less, from the straight line, but the time
is pretty close at hand when neither Po-
landers or any others ''can be rounded
up to be branded" or be 'driven like fat
hogs"

Henry Rickert,

The republican nominee for County
Clerk, was born in Oldenburg, Germany,
in 1850. In 1858 he came to Nebraska
with his parents, bis father pre-empting
l6O where Henry now lives. In 1865,
when Henry was fifteen years Of age, his
father died-his mother is still living
with her son and only child. Mr.. Rick
ert now owns 400 good acres Of land in
Shell Greek valley, and is man highly
esteemed by his neighbors and his ac-
quaintances generally. In Bismark
township, where he resides, he has held
the Office Of justice Of the peace, clerk,
school director and treasurer, and has
always shown ability, honesty and faith
fulness in the discharge of duty. When
Mr.. Rickert was q lad Of fourteen he met
with an accident that permanently bent
his spine, but does not prevent his do
ing mans full work.
We can assure our readers that Mr..
Rickert is, in every way, worthy the
Office for which he is nominated.

The Judicial convention at Schuyler
last Monday evening nominated Judges
Post and Marshall Two very good Sc
lections. Judge Post has grown in IA
vor every day since he went on the
bench and is the peer OF any district
judge in the state. The people will not
be apt to let him go for any judicial ex-
pertinent. Judge Marshall, although
but recently placed on the bench by ap-
pointment, has already shown himself
capable of administering law and justice

Or all the attempts at argument, wit,
